    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Brian!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! Get ready for the most MAGICAL time of your life as you hear the melody of your favorite theme park music, catch a whiff of buttery popcorn on Main Street U.S.A., and feel that warm Florida sunshine. You will know your vacation has officially begun! Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we can't wait to "See You Real Soon!"

    I am so excited that you will be visiting the "Most MAGICAL Place On Earth" during the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival! Get ready for a delicious adventure around the world, as you sip, snack, and savor your way through an incredible variety of international flavors and creative culinary treats. You will find fantastic entertainment, exclusive merchandise, and the toe-tapping Eat to the Beat concert series featuring awesome bands and artists throughout the festival. Whether you’re a foodie, a casual grazer, or just in it for the vibes, this festival is a must-do Disney experience you will not want to miss!

    What a great question! Extended Evening Hours at Disney World is one of those enchanting perks that feels like a secret VIP experience—and it’s only available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villas, and select partner hotels. Eligible guests get to stay in the park two whole hours after it officially closes, giving you a chance to ride popular attractions with shorter wait times, soak in the nighttime atmosphere, and enjoy a more relaxed pace once the crowds clear out.

    While times can change, you can currently find these extended hours at EPCOT on Monday nights. With this in mind, I am excited to share with you that since you are planning your visit during the Food and Wine Festival, you are able to pair the festival fun with a night of extra pixie dust! It’s the perfect way to end a Disney day. Don't you love happy endings?

    As you continue to plan, I highly recommend you check out the Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information regarding all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible surprises planned, and we don't want you to miss any of the fun!

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    Have a MAGICAL day!

    Wes
